Mitchell defends press freedom amid subpoenas in Panther inquiry
Attorney General Mitchell says the Justice Department regrets signaling interference with press freedom as broad subpoenas were issued for reporters notes and film from the New York Times Life Time and Newsweek and CBS in a Black Panther investigation while promising earlier negotiations with press outlets on subpoena scope. A House Crime Committee plans to challenge organized crime this year and will seek negotiations on the subpoena scope with the press.
